It's hard to believe that something that comes together this easily could be tasty and lower in fat. This dish is pretty zippy, but if you like your stir-fries extra spicy, increase the red pepper flakes a bit. -Jenna Noel of Glendale, Arizona

Our whole family loved it. Timing is important as the pea pods and carrots are easily over-cooked. It's great as a leftover too.

Better than I expected.

This recipe was great! I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles and added 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for more spice. This seemed to be lacking in flavor so next time I may add more soy sauce or dry sherry to help.

Love this! Its now in our rotation! It still takes me a little longer because it is a new recipe, but its pretty easy. The only thing we argue about is how much HOT to put in it. As it is, my lips are still on fire! Love this dish!
